Receipe Request for Beer Bread

Receipe Request for Beer Bread. Like the topic says. I will most likely be using seltzer water instead of beer; the beer I have in the fridge is just too nasty for anything.[Note to self: Never buy unknown brands of beer at WalMart. BTW, WTF were you thinking?!?]

I am also thinking of buying a beer brewing kit-not from WM. Do any of you here have experience with that?

Thanks

3 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 bottle (12 ounces) beer, at room temperature
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Add the beer all at once, mixing as little as possible; the batter should be lumpy.

Pour the batter into a 9-x-5-x-3-inch loaf pan and brush with the melted butter. Bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Turn out onto a rack to cool.

Makes 1 loaf.

Yep. I'm getting tired of stirfry and other good-for-you things. The Bear is hungry, he's gotta eat. Thanks JoannaDandy! Now I really want to adopt you-as a sister. I'll try this receipe tomorrow.

dark uncle - My husband and I have 'brewed at home' for about 4 years now.... The kit we really loved [Canadian Ale] has been discontinued, of course, so we've been trying some others - English Ale is next. No matter what type we've made, it's all good stuff. A bit stronger than boughten, so 1 = 2, more-or-less! It's really simple, little equipment to buy[5 gal. containers, long handled spoon, hygrometer, bottle capper], and a very satisfying DIY project! Some kits have all the ingredients ready to add at the proper time; some kits require cooking and steeping the raw ingredients[barley, hops, different grains, malt...] We've tried both types, and being lazy, prefer the ones you just throw together and wait! Warning - the wait on your first brew can become unbearable! You'll find a lot of information online. We get cases of empty bottles at the liquor store and sanitize them, but you can buy new. If you have any trouble, you can pm me - I've also bottled home-made wine from my own grapes and black raspberries - YUM- hick!- MMMY!

Happy brewing! ----------- Make wine, not war! --------------------------- peacebaby

Another good use for nasty beer - You can cook a big swiss steak in the oven - cover with beer and slice an onion thinly over it - cover and cook at 325 degressF for 3 - 4 hours. It would be a waste of GOOD beer....!

We do the chicken in a can all the time on the barbque!!

It is the bomb!!!! we never cook a chicken any other way now

We have also done a turkey the same way, except we used a king size can of beer...( legs and wings must be tied)

*Note* Do not drink the left over beer in the can

The Beer Bread turned out well. Very rich.

The Chicken idea is interesting. I may try the steak one in a day or so.

My dad and bro came over for sunday supper. They have been wanting spare ribs and saur kraut for a while, they can't seem to make it come out like they like. My mom also made a raspberry pie.

So, after eating all this, I am stuffed and bloated like a dead carp.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I dunno about you, but I think we should all head over to "Dark Uncle's" place, eh?

Sounds like a smorgasbord in east Washington: Interstate 90 is lookin' good right about now.

Only if you will help with the dishes. [I hate doing dishes.]

I'd rather have people over in the summer for BBQ's and such. I am more into Dutch Oven cooking than actual BBQing. Plus when its hot and you cook outside, your house stays cooler. That beer bread receipe was so simple yet so good, I'd rather use that than shortcake for strawberries and such. I must not give in to temptation and make it as often as I'd like, or my ass will get saggy.
